How can I monitor the CPU Speed and CPU Freq. Change them?

Jan 13, 2007 5 Replies

Hi All,



I am supposed to write a CPU monitoring tool. Which monitors the CPU Speed, temperature, Frequence etc. Change them if required.



How can I do this? Are there any system call available to perform these tasks?



Please reply.....



Thanks and Regards,



You've got a problem. You've been asked to do a task that you don't have the first clue what to do. Worse, you want other people to do it for you.

The simplest thing would be to use a thermometer with IEEE 488 interface and for best accuracy, an oven controlled frequency counter (also with IEEE 488 interface) to measure the crystal frequency.

Then the only thing that you would have to do is the simple task of writing the IEEE 488 driver for your embedded platform.

Goto google and search for "linux sensors" and "linux cpu frequency"

Hi,

Yes, I do not have a single clue of how to monitor the CPU Frequence but, I have not asked for the solution. I was just asking for a clue, i don't want other people to do it for me. If you have some information please kindly provide it.

Thanks and Regards, Prasad.

Thanks to all the hep provided by all of you. I am able to monitor current CPU speed and it's temperature.

Searching on google with string "linux kernel frequency" did help me a lot.

Thanks and Regards, Prasad.
